CONTOL C CONTROL V PASTE TO SAME LOCATION

Okay so I just have to ask, I have found this elsewhere but the answers are just not there and I want to have a fresh direct and straight forward question:

 

I have control C  done copied the text or annotation

I now want to quickly control V in a new view

when I do that it shows a ghost position of the position in the other view

Now I want to drop it in exactly the same position

 

there is no way of doing this - if I zoom and left click I can get it close but that all seems like more work and does not get it exactly to the same position

 

yes I know I can - modify - paste - to same location but when doing this often thats too many steps

 

I wouldnt ask but it seems that as it shows the ghost position - surely this means that there is a click that will automatically drop it where I can see it wants to go. Like I read someone else say 'its like its teasing you on the position but you can't really get it perfectly there'

thanks

if your using the Paste > Aligned to Same Place, it should place it without any other selections needed.

What do you mean by this? "Too many steps"?  There must be something else going on here if you think that.  Are you pasting between like views (Section View to Section View, Plan View to Plan View)?  

 

You can also paste Aligned to Levels. You wouldn't even need to switch views in this case.

Ah! I think you mean you are copy/pasting between Projects. Right? If so, in Plan View, paste to CURRENT VIEW.

its just from view to view - yes thanks I do totally get the copy to same location - but its the little ghost paste option without using that drop down for paste in same location. So I have copy C in one view (say a duplicate floor plan) then its really fast to just copy V as your fingers are in the same place, this brings up the ghost position of where it is going to go, but you have to manually put your curser there, which seems like why did they put the ghost position which is exactly the same position as the other view?? and not give us a short cut to just drop it there?

Ctrl+V is a Windows command. Use Revit command to paste as desired and hope you don't get RMS.

Drafting is a breeze and Revit doesn't always work the way you think it should.

Add some keyboard shortcuts such as CTRL+SHIFT+V for Paste: aligned to current view, CTRL+ALT+V for Paste: aligned to same place, etc...

@wisedrawing 

 

The technique of typing a 0 offset value after the paste command from @mkelly in the topic "Pasting" works for me in such an occasion:

All I get is a cursor with a x thats grey in colour and nothing shows up?

control C - change view - control V - ghost original position shows - press 0 = greyed X

or after the paste when the pasted item is still blue press '0' enter - the text disappears?

 

perhaps a screen cast anyone??

Good Idea! I did this and it works well.

Thanks!

Same issue as the original poster here.... 
Suggestions of paste aligned do not work in certain situations, ie..... 
I have a series of section views, cut through each level of my building. I have standard annotation on one view that I want to copy to another. I hit CTRL +C to copy, then open the next view, if I hit CTRL+V the ghost position appears exactly where I want it to go, in same position relative to section, however, if I hit paste aligned, or paste to current view, the annotation, jumps to the opposite side of the view, and pastes aligned to the original section orientation i copied from. 
None of the suggestions above work to place in the same place, BUT the ghost position is correct. So, like the OP asked. why is there not a shortcut to just accept the ghost position? 

In other software, return/enter would normally do the job but not in stupid revit

Yes Duncan, I just don't seem to understand how the ghost position is exactly where it should be, but we cant quite get to the finishing line here by click and drop on one easy motion. Its right there for goodness sake!

 

All I do now is 'paste to same position' which sure that works but why is the ghost showing up if for nothing but a tease!?! it would be quicker for the 10,000 pastes I do.

 

There was forum mention by Toan re customising a keyboard stroke for the '0' drop, I have not looked into that. sorry I should do that and then report!

 

ghost drop Revit please :leicht_lächelndes_Gesicht:

There is a way to type 0, but you have to move the cursor away enough, then type 0. I have done it a few times, but, nah... Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I find it easier to use Paste Aligned or Paste to Same Place.

You can make a new keyboard shortcut e.g. "Ctrl+G"  and have that mean "Aligned to Current View".

Not to mention paste aligned and paste to the same place sometimes for some reason doesn't work!! Ghost Drop seems like such a no brainer.

Just the fact that the name would be 'Ghost Drop' is enough to make it happen surely! :leicht_lächelndes_Gesicht:

Its ridiculous isn't it?  But what's even more maddening is the belittling attitude by brainwashed users that its somehow our fault for expecting a program to behave in a commonly accepted method by all modern applications.  I've said it for 15 years, dealing with revit is like a genius that cant tie its own shoes.
